Hello,

I have been experimenting some problems with the fully distributed version.
First of all I'll tell you my configuration:

I have 4 servers(server_{1,2,3,4}) with 6GB Ram and 2 cores. I installed
hadoop in all of them, this is the configuration:
- server_1 is namenode, datanode and secondarynamenode
- server_2, server_3, server_4: datanodes
The storage is aroung 500GB

On the other hand, I have installed hbase, and this is the configuration:
- server_1: master and regionserver
- server_2: zookeeper and regionserver
- server_3 and server_4: regionserver

hbase-site.xml for each server looks like this:
        <property>
                <name>hbase.zookeeper.quorum</name>
                <value>server_2</value>
        </property>
        <property>
            <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name>
            <value>/hdfs/zookeeper</value>
        </property>
        <property>
                <name>dfs.support.append</name>
                <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property>
                <name>hbase.rootdir</name>
                <value>hdfs://server_1:54310/hbase</value>
        </property>
        <property>
            <name>hbase.cluster.distributed</name>
            <value>true</value>
         </property>

So I have some problems you may help me:
1º Insertion is slow. I have an alphanumeric row with two column families.
It takes around 9 minutes to insert 200000 rows, but this is more or less
acceptable.
2º I have a map reduce job where I create a configuration:
        Configuration config = HBaseConfiguration.create();
   and then I ask for config.get("hbase.cluster.distributed"); and It says
"false", what do you think?

thanks a lot!

1) your configuration is sub optimal so toss performance out the window. You appear to be on vms. Toss performance out the window.

2) sounds like you are picking up the default value and not your cluster's config.

Thanks for your quick repy. I am quite new in this field so:
1) I don't understand quite well what you mean, do you mean that is not
optimal the configuration? I have also this in hbase:
<!-- perfomance tunning -->
        <property>
                <name>hbase.client.scanner.caching</name>
                <value>100</value>
        </property>

        <property>
                <name>hbase.regionserver.handler.count</name>
                <value>100</value>
        </property>
2)any idea why it is getting default configuration when I put in the
config hbase.cluster.distributed to true?
